    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    And I don't think it'll be too complicated. Ironically on a racing game I play, they recently added a '71 Mach 1 Mustang so I took it and painted it like how I want my '73 to be. So I took off the '71-'72 stripes and put the '73 stripes on it. Did the paint the way I wanted. And now I love it...

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    You can never go wrong with black and red. It'll always be abstract and an eye catcher. Especially with the way I'm thinking of doing it. And I know it's an awesome problem, I just like hearing opinions, especially from ones that would've seen the car back in the day. And I know for a fact that...

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    My eyes are set on the black and red mainly now, so nothing crazy. And if I get the Camaro, it's going to be straight stock, but first things first, I would have to talk to owner into selling haha

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    See I would be all for upgrading under the hood, but it's the original engine. If it wasn't I would just go crazy. But I might do a little upgrade here and there. And I'm also a fan of the first gen Camaro and I may have found one at the college I'm going to. And well, if I get the Camaro, I...

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    Option 1, all the parts I can salvage from the build, I am. So if I restomod anything, whatever is replaced will be kept up with. Option 2, is really just letting me have a car, and putting what I believe the definition of cool is. So whatever I do will be something I wanted to do. Option 3, I...

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    I've updated what I originally said to add more detail since I wrote this post late last night. Now they go into more detail. Thanks so far for what everyone has said! I have tons of ideas, and plenty of time, but the sooner I get done, the sooner it'll be on the road and it'll get seen more.

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    It will be different, I know that. That's where I'm at, I've 3 main choices but don't know exactly what I want to go with. I might get some renderings of them. And I know the troubles of black cars, we currently own 3.

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    Oh yeah, I will be adding carbon fiber to it. And kind of a reflective red carbon fiber (a dark red). If I do black and red, it'll be black with red markings, and interior would be black as the main theme with red inserts on the seats. An with some red reflective carbon fiber. (Also red digital...

    Help? '73 Mach 1, Not sure what to go for the paint and theme.

    Well, I've hit a small bump in my build. I don't know exactly what I want for the paint and theme on my 1973 Mach 1 Mustang. I'm only 18 and still in high school and am taking on the build myself. So it's pretty interesting. But here are the three themes that I can't decide between. But just...

    Tell me about it. My Camaro is black and I've kept it clean since I got it.

    Update 1/3 on 1973 Mach 1 Mustang Restoration And Story On How I found It

    It sure is. I'm have local shops helping me with the mechanics and body/paint work while I'm in school. Once it's painted the interior work will be done by me most likely, and if I have any problems, I've got friends that restore cars for a living. But yeah, it's a great project. I'm excited to...

    Update 1/10: What should I expect?

    I will have fun and let y'all know what I think about the drive! My Girlfriend is already use to that happening in the Camaro. And she's also excited to go for a ride in it. So she won't get jealous of that, just me spending more time with it lol. Haha, that's a good Monday morning laugh...

    Update 1/10: What should I expect?

    So the day is coming close to my Mustang rolling back onto the street. Any pointers on how she'll feel? I know she's not going to feel anything like my modern Camaro. It is pretty well original, just some parts replaced from where it has been sitting. The brakes have been changed to disc so...

    Update 1/3 on 1973 Mach 1 Mustang Restoration And Story On How I found It

    That's the plan! This body style of mustang is similar to my Camaro so it won't be hard to get use to. But I don't plan on leaving her park in one given place out in public for long. It's in the shop currently. It's not a rush project so they're working on it whenever they get a spot open in...

    Update 1/3 on 1973 Mach 1 Mustang Restoration And Story On How I found It

    That's a good idea but I don't plan on parking in many parking places in the Mach 1 if you know what I mean. And whenever I do park I'm usually the first there to park so I can take all the time I want or I park away from everyone. I may put a built in computer in and then go from there for...

    Thinking about exhaust setups

    I already respect the road. My first car is my 2011 Camaro, but I can say the first car I bought myself and worked on was my '73 Mach 1 Mustang. Whenever the cops pass me they wave because they know who son I am, and my cousin gives me an update on what the cops are currently driving before they...

    Thinking about exhaust setups

    I believe that is a valid statement wwhite72. Some people didn't believe my '73 Mach 1 was a mustang until I showed them that it was. Most people over look the last years of the classic Mustangs just because they "weren't demanded" as the others. It is a sad fact but it is true. Our Mustangs...
